Waylon Jennings - Money Cannot Make the Man lyrics

Album: Love of the Common People <RCA Victor> (1967)

(Jim Glaser)

So long I have been trying to give you the things that you have wanted
But your thirst for riches is more than my pockets can stand
And I know that you are dreaming of things you could´ve with another
´Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You like to be seen in the richest & finest of places
You are always embarrassed by the callouses here on my hands
And I know that it is only a matter of time until you leave me
´Cause to your way of thinking the money is what makes the man.

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you are still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can not give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money can not make the man.

--- Instrumental ---

You may find a rich man to give you the things that you long for
But if you are still lonely then darling you may understand
That with all of his gold he can not give you the love that I gave you
For a man can make money but money can not make the man.

A man can make money but money can not make the man...
